Jeckel's work primarily includes paintings and drawings , which are produced in large series in various formats. Your paintings are characterized by many layers of acrylic paint , so that the impression of a color relief is created at times . Jeckel also integrates photographs , textiles or flowers into some of her pictures , creating collages . For several associations and companies she realized larger commissioned works for the public space, including for the IHK Wiesbaden in the Erbprinzenpalais .

Together with her husband, Jeckel initiated the project of a red glass stele for tolerance in 1994 , of which dozens have now been set up worldwide by a non-profit association founded for this purpose, including in Braunschweig , Geisenheim , Kfar Saba , Betlehem , Breslau , The Hague , Tallinn , and Tavarnelle Val di Pesa and in the US state of Wisconsin .

In 1998 she designed two carpets for the company Teppich Michel , 12 of which were hand- knotted in Nepal . In the following year one copy of each of the carpets was shown in an exhibition at the Wiesbaden Museum.

In 2011, Jeckel and her husband won the competition to redesign the Faulbrunnen at the Platz der Deutschen Einheit in Wiesbaden. After years of stagnation and financial problems, the two artists, disappointed, withdrew from the Wiesbaden urban development project.

In 2018 she created a multi-part installation for the festival Poesie im Park im Schlosspark in Biebrich , in which she dealt with the texts of Virginia Woolf .
